This study is based on the same time period as Clarida et al. (1998), where the monthly
data spans the interval from April of 1979 to December of 1994. FollowingMcKinnon and
Ohno (1997),
1
the real exchange rate deviation (rdpt) corresponds to the rate of deviation of
the exchange rate to its parity value (PPP). The Output gap (gapt) was computed as the
deviation of the log of the Industrial Production Index from a quadratic trend. The inflation
rate (cpit) was measured by the variation of the Consumer Price Index over the last six
months. Finally, the interest rate (it), represented by the call rate, was measured in the
correspondent unit of time, given by the accumulated rate over the last 6 months. It is
important to notice that this formulation makes use of backward looking expectations.

All
the variables were obtained from the International Financial Statistics (IMF).
